Connie and Ted's

This Santa Monica Boulevard seafood joint brings a taste of New England summer to West Hollywood, offering unpretentious yet highly satisfying chowder, lobster rolls, and raw bar, as well as a shockingly good cheeseburger at upmarket prices. While the exterior of the building is a sort of confusing mix of Sonic Drive In and Saarinen, the main dining room is fairly unremarkable. Still, the private dining room that seats up to twelve guests is ideal for low key seafood celebrations.
